If these misguided "men of the cloth" want to violate the separation between church & state; then the income/contrubitions to their church should be taxed at (at least) the rate paid by Willard Romney.

All church owned properties should loose any federal, state and local exemptions and have property taxes levied at the same rate as the individuals around the chruch's property.

I've never been to a church that identified as conservative or liberal. Do "liberal" churches talk about current events to inform their parishoners? What about the Rev. Jerimiah Wright? A man whose church was attended by President Obama for some 20 years? Or Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? Tax the hell out of them, too!!

"Newark Archbishop John J. Myers, the spiritual leader of 1.3 million North Jersey Catholics, issued a pastoral statement on Tuesday saying that the legalization of gay marriage would threaten religious freedom and that Catholics who don’t believe the church’s teachings on the subject should refrain from accepting Holy Communion."
